Referring to his success for visiting Razavi Holy Shrine and enjoying services and guidance of Astan Quds Razavi’s officials at Razavi Shrine’s Dar al-Rahmah Portico, Loeik stated, “This holy organization has provided lots of valuable services for the non-Iranian pilgrims one of which is to allocate a particular portico for these pilgrims”.
Regarding his first sense of presence in Razavi Shrine, he stated, “When I entered the shrine, the first thing I met was love. The grandeur of Imamate occupied whole my body and kind of respect, intimacy, safety, and calmness toward the Imam (A.S.) entered into my soul”.
Loeik reminded, “Holy Shrine of Imam Reza (A.S.) is very big and glorious. It has got unique beauties and it is not comparable to other religious places at all”.
Noting that I converted to Islam last year, this newly Muslim convert from France said, “When I got older, I understood that French media and television does not offer Islam’s realities correctly. The French government introduces Muslims as terrorists and it provides a false face of Islam”.
Loeik added, “To get more familiar with the realities of Islam, I searched and studied a lot. After a while, I found out that Christianity cannot answer my questions. Therefore, I tried to comprehend the reality. The more research I did, the more interest I got in Islam. I made my final decision last year and converted to Islam”.
This French new Muslim convert reminded, “I receive my family’s disagreement when I read Qura’n. However, I try to recite Qur’an with best kind of voice and I enjoy it”.
Saying that I have visited some cities such as Qom, he said, “In addition to be here, I visited Qom too. I went on Hazrat Masumeh (S.A.) shrine there.
He referred to the approach of his country toward Muslims and said, “Muslims are not in good situations in France. Unfortunately, French people don’t have good perspective and attitude toward Muslims and address them as terrorists”.
This French pilgrim stated, “I am so happy that God has given me this blessing success so that I can comprehend the greatness and spiritual reward of Razavi pilgrimage in my youth”.
